#anilog

I am! I am…. I just got derailed this month due to some health issues and poor time management and working on some other lighter things that I could squeeze in and had strength to do… But I haven’t touched this project at all.

I was thinking about it, how to proceed and all that since I got stuck on concept side of things and I figured I need to work on storyboard/animatik more, but I will ramp it up so I’ll be making concepts art and test shots as I go along. Once I have that figured out as detailed as possible that should make whole production side of things a lot easier, or at least help plan it as efficiently as possible.

But I did promise in last entry that I’ll share some other inspirations for how I want this thing to feel and look, so let’s get into that:
 

Sangatsu no Lion

Probably my main go to for the style I’m going for. I especially love how they portray peoples thoughts and feelings in this show through visuals and sound design and I would like for something like that to be at base for my own short too, since it is, at core, more about conveying feelings rather then a standard story, even though I do have it split in that 3 arc structure.
I am still unsure about the art style itself, but that’s what I’ll be exploring when I start refining my animatik.
As far as those are concerned,3-gatsuandMob Psycho are my starting points, and the work od KyoAnistudio in general is inspirational to me as well, because other then looking gorgeous, they know how to do their drama and characters, but I won’t be shooting forthatlevel of polish, oh no, I feel overwhelmed just thinking about it, But simple, experimantal and energetic look other two have going feels more manageable, we’ll see.

Hopefully April will be more productive for this lil’ big project.
To keep myself accountable I’ll strive to update here at the end of every week. That should help with planning my monthly update videos too.

Here’s some more gifs for the end~
